What is urban metabolism? How is it
understood within different disciplines? Can urban metabolism foster new ideas
and concepts of the urban? What is its potential to develop practical
applications? These questions emerge around an interdisciplinary dialogue
around urban metabolism, a concept increasingly adopted to study the city and
its ecology.

In 2012, the project will organise an event
to bring interdisciplinary researchers together. For more information or if you
would like to participate please contact Vanesa Castán Broto (v.castanbroto@ucl.ac.uk) or Adriana
Allen (a.allen@ucl.ac.uk).
